CTN focuses on these three elements, offering you a vast catalogue of products. Materials, colours, textures... All that remains is for you to select what will set your stand apart from other professionals.

If you prefer to install carpet, you'll find a wide selection of needle-punched carpet in our catalogue, available in many colours. Plain, patterned or striped, it is perfectly suited to high-traffic areas and has the advantage of being quick and easy to install. If carpeting doesn't match the image of the stand you're planning, you can opt for PVC flooring. Available in a wide range of options and colours. Whether you prefer plain or imitation wood, stone, mirror, waxed concrete, cement, cobblestones, sand, or even grass for an original decor, the possibilities for the flooring of your fair/exhibition stand are limited only by your imagination.

For a complete decoration of your stand, CTN also offers solutions to enhance your ceilings or conceal any imperfections. Using curtains, fabrics or canvas, you can create a fair/exhibition stand that reflects your image. Extandex fabric can also be used to make stand roofs. This is also the case for 85g/m2 brushed cotton, which is used to make velum, or false fabric ceilings. Our website offers a wide range of options for decorating the ceilings of your stands.
For the final touches to your décor, CTN provides a wide range of adhesives, staplers, polyane film, protective film, Velcro, cutters, waxed cloths, stage skirts, and more.

WHAT SERVICES DOES CTN OFFER?
The floor coverings and textiles marketed by CTN and used at trade fairs and exhibitions can be customised to create a unique setting. The company offers a printing service for its floor coverings and textiles. This service can be carried out on carpets with a grammage of over 400g/m², such as Salsa. You can then print anything you like on it, in terms of colour, design or message. An effective way to create an original stand, clearly distinct from those of other exhibitors. Such customisation is also achievable through brushed cotton printing, regardless of the surface on which this fire-resistant fabric is placed.
Staying on the subject of textiles, CTN offers its customers a made-to-measure service. The company has all the skills needed, in its own workshop, to respond to any request. This made-to-measure work includes the manufacture of curtains, canopies, tablecloths and so on. This is yet another way of creating a unique stand that stands out from all the rest. And thus, attract visitors who, upon being intrigued and drawn to the products and/or services showcased at the stand, may potentially become new customers, recognising you at your future events.
RECYCLE MATERIALS TO EASE PRESSURE ON THE ENVIRONMENT
Fairs and exhibitions represent large consumers of raw materials. At a time when environmental respect has become a necessity, it is no longer about discarding, but about recovering, transforming and adding value. This is how CTN developed a responsible approach, called CTN Recycling. Thanks to this new process, the company retrieves upstream provided products, which can be reused downstream, such as cotton, Rewind® and Expostyle event carpet and PVC floors. To assist clients in their preparations for this task, CTN offers certain tools at their disposal. Thus, it provides them with one or more containers, as well as one or more Big Bags. This is how the responsibility falls to the clients to place the carpet in the former and the brushed cotton—after carefully sorting it—in the latter, at the end of the event. CTN then takes care of recycling and adding value to the recovered materials. This is how the brushed cotton will begin a new life, integrated into insulation panels. As for the carpet, it will first be transformed into granules, then into PP (polypropylene), and finally into new plastic products. CTN provides its clients with an appraisal certificate for these materials at the end of the cycle.In summary, CTN offers comprehensive solutions for floor, wall, and ceiling coverings to enhance the decoration of your fair/exhibition stand. Allowing you to tailor your selection to suit your requirements, styling your professional space for such promotional events provides an opportunity to showcase your image and brand through meticulous decoration, undoubtedly attracting prospective clients.
